Conformationally restrained substituted pregnane-20-one derivatives were obtained by an intramolecular nitrene addition onto a C-5/C-6 double bond involving a tethered C-19 sulfamoyl moiety. The resulting aziridine underwent regioselective nucleophilic ring opening at C-5 at room temperature with cyanide, fluoride, and acetate. In the isolated case of acetate, a reversal of regioselectivity was observed at higher temperatures, a result attributed to a rearrangement process involving aziridine ring opening at the C-5 position and subsequent migration of the acetyl moiety to C-6.

Due to the sulfur's atoms' propensity to form molecules and/or polymeric chains of various sizes and configuration, elemental sulfur possesses more allotropes and polymorphs than any other element at ambient conditions. This variability of the starting building blocks is partially responsible for its rich and fascinating phase diagram, with pressure and temperature changing the states of sulfur from insulating molecular rings and chains to semiconducting low- and high-density amorphous configurations to incommensurate superconducting metallic atomic phase. Here, using a fast compression technique, we demonstrate that the rapid pressurisation of liquid sulfur can effectively break the molecular ring structure, forming a glassy polymeric state of pure-chain molecules (Am-S).

Solid-state metallic potassium batteries (SSMPBs) afresh have attracted incremental attention because of their potential to supplement solid-state metallic lithium batteries. However, SSMPBs suffer poor electrochemical performances due to the low ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes and huge electrode/electrolyte interfacial resistance. Herein, high-rate SSMPBs are achieved by in situ ring-opening polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane with succinonitrile as a plasticizer and Al(OTf) as the catalyst, where the succinonitrile enables short-chain polyether electrolytes.

The catalytic efficiency of sulfonated polystyrene foam waste (SPS) and sulfonated gamma alumina (SGA) in Friedel-Crafts type reactions was compared. All of the materials were studied using the state-of-the-art characterization techniques. SPS was found to carry a higher load of -SOH functional groups (1.

Biaryl motifs are essential structural features in several drugs and functional molecules. Cyclic diaryliodonium has been scarcely explored as a bifunctional agent compared to ring opening and annulation reactions. Herein, a three-component cascade approach is developed to synthesize bifunctionalized biaryls employing cyclic diaryliodoniums as a biarylating agent.

Structurally tailored and engineered macromolecular (STEM) networks are attractive materials for soft robotics, stretchable electronics, tissue engineering, and 3D printing due to their tunable properties. To date, STEM networks have been synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) or the combination of reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization and ATRP. RAFT polymerization could have limited selectivity with ATRP inimer sites that can participate in radical-transfer processes.
